1974 Camaro vin placement
 

Does anyone know if the vin on a 74 camaro is on the pad of the block or stamped by the oil filter?

I think the vin on the oil filter was 69 cars, but here's an example of a 73. Hope it helps

Yep, that's exactly where the '74s are stamped. Just like the '73s. Behind and below the alternator on the engine pad in front of the passenger side head.

I'm sure all were stamped on the front pad. Here's my 74 z28 stamping

Thanks guys

I have a Norwood 73 Camaro with "born with" 350 also having VIN stamped on eng deck "pad".

FYI...........70' Norwood Camaros had VIN stamped on drivers side bellhousing flange
(aka Oil Filter location)..........70' Van Nuys Camaros had VIN stamped on Eng Deck

Not to hijack the thread, but It is interesting that mid 69 the VIN on almost all Norwood Camaros moved from the front pad to the oil filter. My 70 Z had the VIN by the oil filter also. So apparently, some time between 70 and 73 they moved the VIN back to the front pad. Norwood cars I'm speaking of. I'm curious when it changed back to the front pad.
Anyone know?

It seems like it would be easier for the police and insurance companies on the pad.
Both of my 70 Z's have the VIN stamped on the subframe. I figured that was for insurance purposes.

Anyone with a 71 or 72 out there? where is your VIN?

Where would the vin stamp be on the chassis?

Camaro (body shell) has VIN stamped on right firewall, however it is covered by
the blow motor air plenum ("box" that blower is attached to)

NO 70+ Camaro Vin on frame ....frame code is mfg location and date

I may be wrong..(probably..haha). But, Why do I think I swear that I saw my partial VIN on my 70 Z subframe?? I sold the car a few years ago so cannot double check. I seem to remember the partial VIN stamped on the side of the sub frame toward the rear in letters larger than the VIN on my block... More similar to the Stamped date codes on blocks. Easily visible with car on a lift on a clean subframe. I even remember taking a picture. I just checked the Z I have now which is a 'survivor' but it was under coated when new and I really don't want to scrape the subframe.

Hmmmmm...maybe I'm losing it in my old age ??? Too many cars..frames...VINsss... Haha

Chuck, when did the VINs move back to the front pad. In 1971?
My 70 Z had VIN by oil filter..that is 100%. Haha

That's what I understood Chuck, thanks.
Buddy:hmmm:
